Make the Most of the Off Cycle
Each year, thousands of talented applicants compete for limited vacation scheme places. Even fewer convert those schemes into training contract offers. If you’re reading this, you might be one of those lucky applicants preparing for your vacation scheme, or perhaps, you’ve faced rejection this cycle and you’re wondering what went wrong.
First, know this: you’re not alone. You might be unsure how to demonstrate commercial awareness, nervous about how to impress during your vacation scheme, or struggling to articulate your strengths clearly in applications. This can be taught.
That’s exactly why we created this course. This course has two clear paths:
- Converting Your Vacation Scheme: Learn exactly what it takes to turn your vacation scheme into a training contract offer.
- Application Strategy for Next Cycle: Bounce back stronger from rejection, refine your approach, and position yourself confidently for the next application cycle.
Welcome! We are excited to help you secure your training contract at your dream law firm.
Who this programme is for:
1
You want to convert your vacation scheme to your dream law firm. You’ve got an upcoming Spring or Summer vacation scheme and you want to personalised help to convert it into a training contract.
2
You want to apply for direct training contract applications. Whether you can’t do vacation scheme applications due to your work schedule or visa restrictions, or you want to know how to write direct training contract applications that convert into interviews, we are here to help.
3
You want to prepare for the next vacation scheme cycle. There is so much you could do during this off season so that when applications open in August and September, you’re positioned to come out with multiple vacation scheme offers. If this is you, we’ll use this programme to really map out your strategy.
What this Accelerator will do:
- Help you convert your vacation scheme into a training contract! If you have a vacation scheme coming up, our measure of success is whether you convert it into a training contract.
- Write successful direct training contract applications. If this is you, our accelerator has been designed to help you work on the most important goal: writing applications to law firms you are interested in. Our 30 minute application review calls will help you to get there.
- Make the next cycle count. No more feeling lost or overwhelmed or not knowing what you’re missing out. If you’re working full time or studying, this bootcamp will tell you exactly what you need to know to make progress. We’ll help you to build your application strategy for the next cycle.
